The Isle of Long

Long Island and metro NYC from 35,000 feet. Pubished on page 156 of the book 'Man-made America - Chaos or Control?' by Christopher Tummard & Boris Pushkarev ©1963 Yale Press

image 32961

Most fo NYC and all of Long Island can be made out in this high altitude photograph taken in the late 50s/early 60s.

Some details of note - Verrazano bridge has yet to be started in this view. In the larger scale photos it appears that the Chase Manhattan Bank downtown is in some phase of construction.

wonderful!

Fnatastic! Great photo. Pre 1962 I think since the Verrazano is not yet begun.
